I saw that spike too, was even able to grab a few pips.
I read that some news leaked out early, the PMI numbers were better than expected.
Spikes happen all the time. If you are in doubt then just download another brokers platform for free and go back and look at the time in question.

Ok, its Tuesday 04/11/2011 and I am looking at the chart for GBP/USD, The attached imgage shows a very clear downward trend, then along comes this large pricing spike the covers HIGH and LOW range. I see this spiking often and question if this is stoploss
hunting or just normal market movement.....I would dare say a huge amount of traders would have had their positions cleaned out
by such a spike, your honest thoughts please.
